Chapter 207 Lu Yan stops vomiting blood, company stock price fluctuates
Lu Yanzhi looked at the ring. For a moment, he hadn't realized what was happening and was just leaning against the headboard.
The next moment, his stomach cramped, and he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the wedding ring.
His mind was blank; all he knew was to subconsciously reach out and wipe the ring clean, but the crimson stains still lingered on it.
The belated pain swept over him. He glanced at the perfume on the bedside table, then at the ring on his hand, and finally closed his eyes in agony.
...
Shi Nian was alone at home.
After Huo Yanmo and Lu Yanzhi left, she sat alone on the recliner on the balcony.
The night breeze blew gently.
She was still wearing that blue heart-shaped pendant around her neck.
She reached out and grasped the pendant, remembering what had happened that day.
She recalled Huo Yanmo's earnest and affectionate gaze as he looked at her, and the things Lu Yanzhi had done for her.
She didn't know what Lu Yanzhi's difficulties were, but she knew that they could never go back.
From now on, she will live a good life with Huo Yanmo, Sisi, and perhaps her mother.
Because Sisi's actual adoptive parent is Zheng Shuhui, and Shi Nian can only be considered an auxiliary adoptive parent, many things need to emphasize Zheng Shuhui's primary adoptive status. For example, on the medical records, Sisi's mother will also write Zheng Shuhui's name.
Subsequent family follow-up visits were also conducted through Zheng Shuhui.
Therefore, Shi Nian needs to bring her mother with her.
Even though the two don't communicate much, things are gradually improving.
Mother……
Shi Nian looked at the pendant.
Does she still remember her father?
Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly.
It's probably normal not to remember, after all, my father has been dead for so many years.
She couldn't expect her mother to remember him forever.
Just remember it yourself.
Perhaps Huo Yanmo will also remember.
Thinking of this, Shi Nian felt a warmth in her heart. At least in this world, there was another person who shared the same thoughts and longed for the same person.
...
Time passed slowly.
The next day, the Lu family was in an uproar.
Lu Yanzhi did not come to work.
Moreover, I heard that he fell ill and has temporarily put aside all company matters to handle things with Lu Qiansheng.
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
"What happened? I saw President Lu was perfectly fine a while ago, how come he suddenly fell ill? Could it be because Huo Yanmo's relentless pursuit of Shi Nian made him sick?"
"Who knows? Didn't he get back together with Han Wei? Shi Nian is his ex-wife."
"This is very rare. Even when President Lu was not feeling well, he would still give instructions to the company or hold conference calls. This time, he has completely ignored it."
"real?"
"Yes, now it's the old man who's handling some things."
"My God, is President Lu terminally ill?!"
"Don't say such scary things."
...
The top floor of the Lu's Building.
Lu Qiansheng was in his office.
The old lady stayed by his side.
Secretary Zhou came over to help with the matter.
Lu Qiansheng glanced at Secretary Zhou and asked, "How is he now?"
Secretary Zhou immediately replied, "He was rushed to the hospital last night. After the examination, it was determined that President Lu was not seriously ill. He was just too heartbroken, and he may have been drinking too much alcohol recently, so he couldn't bear it and vomited blood."
"The doctor said that with proper treatment, they will get better," Secretary Zhou added, telling the elderly couple not to worry too much.
Lu Qiansheng then nodded.
"Did he say what the reason was?" Lu Qiansheng thought for a moment and then asked.
Secretary-General Zhou sighed and shook his head.
He had been inquiring about it ever since he found out, but Lu Yanzhi didn't say anything, only that he wanted to be discharged from the hospital.
Thinking of this, Secretary Zhou added, "President Lu insisted on being discharged from the hospital and is now lying in the villa on the hillside. I have arranged for a doctor to go and take care of him."
Hillside villa?
That was Lu Yanzhi and Shi Nian's former marital home.
The elderly couple exchanged a glance, and then they roughly understood what was going on.
They did not make things difficult for Secretary Zhou.
"Go and do your work," Lu Qiansheng said.
"Yes." Secretary Zhou turned and left, closing the door behind him.
Now only the elderly couple remains in the office.
"Old man, what do you think is going on? Is it related to Niannian?" the old lady asked.
"snort!"
Lu Qiansheng snorted coldly and said, "Who knows if he'll tell or not! Even if it's because of Niannian, he deserves it!"
The old lady hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
After about three seconds of silence, the old lady continued, "That young man from the Huo family has been pursuing Niannian quite aggressively lately. What if Niannian agrees..."
Lu Qiansheng glanced at the old lady, unsure of what to say, and the two fell silent once more.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Qiansheng finally let out a long sigh and said, "Let's see if Yanzhi can come to his senses in time. If things continue like this, there's nothing I can do."
The old lady nodded.
...
The Lu family thought that Lu Yanzhi might show up in a day or two after his condition improved, at least to update the internal situation or hold a video conference.
But no.
For four consecutive days, there was absolutely no news from Lu Yanzhi.
Even though Lu Qiansheng had said that Lu Yanzhi was just recuperating and taking a break, and Secretary Zhou had explained the situation to the shareholders and shown them the medical records to indicate that there was no problem, it still caused widespread anxiety.
"If there's really nothing wrong, why not hold a video conference? Or at least say something on the internal platform?"
"Is it really a terminal illness?"
"This is unbearable. President Lu is the one who led the company's transformation and is the backbone. If something happens to him, will the company be in trouble?"
...
Even Lu's stock price fluctuated.
Even with further explanations, some people still doubted that Lu Yanzhi's medical records were fake or photoshopped.
On the 5th day of Lu Yanzhi's recuperation.
While Shi Nian was checking out the new products at the Huo's counter, he was suddenly blocked by reporters who were lying in wait.
The reporters kept asking questions—
"Miss Shi, are you aware that President Lu has disappeared these past few days?"
"Ms. Shi, is Mr. Lu's illness related to you?"
"Ms. Shi, have you visited Mr. Lu? How is he doing now? Could you tell us?"
...
Although the bodyguards quickly came over and separated the people, there were still many people peeking in their direction.
Shi Nian looked at the swarm of reporters and felt a headache coming on.
She knew about Lu Yanzhi's illness on the first day, but she didn't intend to do anything about it.
She had already made things clear with Lu Yanzhi many days ago.
That night, I simply made things a little clearer.
She has been keeping a low profile these days, and even disguised herself when she went out today, but she was still recognized by the people who were lying in wait.
Shi Nian knew that if she didn't give an answer, even more people would keep chasing after her.
The pendant was pressed against her skin beneath her clothes, slightly cool, but it gave her a sense of peace.
She should give the reporters a definite answer.
